Turboflex GC Flexible Disc Couplings

Ameridrives' reputation has been built on specialized designs for demanding applications since 1928. Bibby-Turboflex were the original developers of the Profiled Disc Coupling principle over 40 years ago and have been a global leader in high-performance couplings ever since.

Ameridrives-Bibby has combined over 40 years of engineering and sales experience in general purpose disc couplings with Turboflex design technology to create the GC series couplings. These conservative designs have been optimized for heavy industrial applications including reciprocating and reversing equipment in low to medium speed ranges. They are ideal for engine driven equipment. Our engineering team has combined testing and FEA analysis of the GC Series vs. competitive products to pinpoint the torsional characteristics of our couplings, in order to assure accurate data for your system dynamics analysis. We are prepared to work directly with your engineers to design and produce modified and special couplings. Ameridrives-Bibby is committed to providing expedited delivery, when required, to keep your project on schedule.

Standard Features:

• Capacities to 1900 HP/100 RPM
• Unitized flex packs for ease of installation
• Straight-sided stainless steel flex packs
• Large diameter high strength bolts for added torque transmission

Advantages:

• Fewer coupling sizes - lower inventory cost and better spares availability
• More torque per size means lower cost per HP
• Unitized flex pack simplifies installation - no loose blades or washers
• Straight-sided flex pack results in better stress distribution and reduces production cost
• Unitized flex pack prevents blades from wearing into the bolt, which reduces galling and freezing of bolts in holes for easier maintenance
